We believe the 5 major concepts of this course are:

1. The differences between writing in general and everyday writing. The everyday ones appear to be more invisible, mundane, and less acknowledged, but definitely not any less important.

2. Writing shapes our everyday life, and we use writing in a multitude of way on the daily basis. Whether we use textbooks for class or we take sloppy notes written on paper, writing is all around us.

3. Everyday writing should not require much more thought on the conscious level. Our subconscious and our experiences should shape what we write, and that's what makes it everyday writing- it doesn't require a lot of effort or proof reading because it is okay to have mistakes in the writing.

4. Everyday writing comes in many different forms. Some include notes, sticky notes, to-do lists, postcards, and graffiti.

5. As a general rule of thumb, anything mass produced is not considered everyday writing as it is generally edited many times and made perfect before being release to the general public.

Everyday writing has a clear separation between other types of writing and signifying the differences is important.
